- **Event Description**: Join sector leaders to tackle the NEET crisis and shape solutions that could influence the Milburn Review. Help shape our sector now!About this EventLeaders in the Further Education, Skills and Employability Sector are facing the youth opportunity crisis of a generation. The numbers are staggering: nearly one million young people, approximately one in eight, aged 16-24, are currently not in education, employment, or training (NEET). Over a quarter now cite long-term sickness or disability as a barrier, compared to just 12% in 2013/14.The Government has called this a "crisis of opportunity." Alan Milburn's independent review, launching in the winter of 2025, will examine why increasing numbers of young people are falling out of work or education before their careers have begun. This also feeds into the Timms review on benefits and the Maynard review on 'Keep Britain Working'. With interim findings for the Milburn review due in Spring 2026 and the final report in Summer 2026, the window to influence policy and practice is now!The Breaking Barriers Collective is where you'll shape that window. This isn't just another conference where you'll be talked at. It's a collective intelligence event in partnership with Edge Foundation. You'll work alongside sector leaders, local authorities, youth services, and young people with lived experience to co-create practical solutions and policy recommendations that will feed into the national conversation. The outcome of the collective will be an action-focused report.When &amp; WhereTuesday, 9th June 2026 at the Gtech Community Stadium in BrentfordCoffee and registration from 9:30am, with the main event starting at 10am-4:30pmWhy This Event Is Completely DifferentYou'll actively work with sector leaders, young people, and policy makers to co-create a sector-changing report that addresses the intersection of health, welfare, skills, and employment support for young people.What You'll ExperienceThe Morning: Understanding the Crisis [Speaker lineup TBC, exploring the Milburn Review, Youth Guarantee trailblazers, data insights on NEET trends, Keep Britain Working, and voices from young people with lived experience]Key themes will include:The data behind youth inactivity: who, where, why, and what's changedMental health and neurodevelopmental conditions: the 80% realityHow health, welfare, skills, and employment systems currently fail to connectYoung people's voices: what it's really like falling through the cracksThe Milburn Review: interim findings and how FE &amp; Skills can influence the final recommendationsThe Afternoon: Collective Intelligence Sessions, where we move from challenges to solutions.[Pillars TBC]Who Will You Work With?We'll bring together:Policy advisors involved in Youth Guarantee and Milburn ReviewLocal Authority representatives leading NEET preventionCollege Principals and ITP leadersYouth service providers and mental health specialistsYoung ambassadors with lived NEET experienceEmployers creating entry-level opportunitiesData and research specialistsWho Should Attend?Senior representatives from:Colleges and ITPsWork-Based Learning and Apprenticeship providersLocal Authorities (education, skills, and youth services)Youth support services and mental health providersJobcentre Plus and DWP partnersAwarding OrganisationsEmployers committed to youth opportunity and Foundation ApprenticeshipsSocial Mobility SpecialistsWhether you're a senior leader, curriculum manager, NEET coordinator, youth services lead, or employer partner, this event will focus on developing cross-system solutions that work in practice, not just on paper.Don't just respond to the NEET crisis, help shape the solutions.The outcome of this event will be a report that you will help form, potentially feeding into the Milburn Review's final recommendations and influencing how our sector supports the next generation.https://youtu.be/FffbXBTscl4
